Over the last couple of days, I&#8217;ve been looking at measuring the age of a team&#8217;s passing attack.

The Detroit Lions have to be prepared to replace Calvin Johnson, but they shouldn&#039;t rush to do so, as replacing him with Alshon Jeffery would be a mistake.

Are Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate the best wide receiver combo in the NFL?

As explosive as the Lions offense has been over the past several years, they have struggled to find a viable No. 2 receiver opposite Calvin Johnson.
In fact, they have drafted a second-round receiver in two of the past three drafts: Ryan Broyles (2012, 54th overall pick) and Titus Young (2011,2014-03-12 16:36:442/13: EDSFootball- Lions release Nate Burleson, save $5.5M in cap roomhttp://eatdrinkandsleepfootball.com/blog/2014/02/lions_release_nate_burleson_save_55m_in_cap_room.html
With the NFL's free-agency period period set to begin in less than a month (March 11th), we will soon hear of many players under contract that will get to test out free agency earlier than that.
One of them is Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson, who was released by the Lions today, according to D2014-02-13 15:36:392/7: FootballPerspective.com- Tallest and Shortest Wide Receiver Groups Since 1950http://www.footballperspective.com/tallest-and-shortest-wide-receiver-groups-since-1950/

It&#8217;s almost August, and it&#8217;s long past time to talk wide receivers. There are some interesting NFL free agents who could re-enter the league for a desperate team.

After the debacle that was the 2012 Detroit Lions&#8217; season, many fans were calling for heads. Mostly the head of Jim Schwartz.

Is your favorite team looking for help at wide receiver now that the draft is over and we&#8217;ve entered NFL free agency?

We&#8217;ve been through this before fans.

The Detroit Lions have a need at wide receiver thanks to the personal implosion of Titus Young. Add in some uncertainty caused by season-ending injuries to Nate Burleson and Ryan Broyles and the Lions can&#8217;t stand pat at wide receiver heading into the 2013 season.

The Detroit Lions&#8217; philosophy of taking a &#8220;best player available&#8221; approach to the NFL Draft has received criticism, especially in the wake of a 4-12 season.

That awful stench that was the Detroit Lions&#8217; 2012 season is starting to fade away now that the playoffs are over.
